[pkg-wpa-devel] wpa config vs ipwconfig

[ericp at caldergroup.com]

Hi,

My question is are my wpa-* setting the equivalent of my iwconfig  
settings? My problem , after bringing up eth1, wpa settings don't show  
up when running iwconfig. Other access points work ok, but I've never  
been able to set the ssid using wpa.

This works
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid NETGEAR channel 6 key 12345678901234567890123456

This does not work (from /etc/network/interfaces)
mapping eth1
         script grep
         map eth1-work
         map eth1-home
         map eth1-rents

iface eth1-rents inet dhcp
         wpa-driver ipw
         wpa-ssid NETGEAR
         wpa-key-mgmt NONE
         wpa-wep-key0 "12345678901234567890123456"
         wpa-wep-tx-keyidx 0


Versions
wpasupplicant  0.4.8-4
ipw2200 2.4

This is what I get from wpa_client, with config from /etc/network/interfaces.

Connection to wpa_supplicant lost - trying to reconnect
Connection to wpa_supplicant re-established
